Flesh will again be bared at the second Brighton and Hove naked bike ride.

The event, which last year saw 160 naked riders cycle through the city, is a protest against oil dependency and a bid to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists.

This year it will take place on June 9 and cyclists from all over the world are expected to join in.

It will start at 10.30am from The Level and finish at Black Rock naturist beach around noon. The plan is to then take trains up to London to join the London ride at 3pm.

There will be a pre-ride body painting workshop at 9am and the policy is 'bare as you dare' so full nudity is not a demand.
